[Q] Xperia S Roll Back - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

i have Xperia S Lt26i 6.0.A.3.73 i wanna root my phone but i cant unlock the bootloader, is there anyway to do a rollback to previous versions of the phone?

It doesn't depend on your firmware version. If it's locked, it's locked.

Xperia Relock bootloader.ftf

Excuseme.....I have a little problem...
I did the procedure to relock the bootloader on my Xperia mini pro .. sk17i to use seus .. but the phone will not turn on ..
But the file is also relockbootloader for this phone?
I guess that you have flashed the insecure boot.img, which cannot boot the phone with the looked bootloader.

What do U mean ?
I made the test ... relocking my bootloader and SEUS told me I have got the last FW without the possibilities to re-install it !
I can't use TrackID for example...

It was told that you will loose drm forever, so no trackid
That means when we flash the kernel, we loose something from SE ...
Could we make a complete copy of the nand before flashing it for restoring later if needed ?
same
on sues it says, could not find any firmware for your device, but i have relocked bootloader
any ideas
firmware uk
the reason i wanted to use seus was to get the firmware downloaded, so i could root it, because the firmwares on here have foreign apps that werent on my phone when i got it from shop

[Q] relocked bootloader... still can't update OTA or SEUS or PCC
hey,
relocked my bootloader, am still rooted on my sk17,
am on stock kernel and ...58 firmware.
(SEUS, PCcompanion)... none offer me any update. they say i've no update to install..
OTA is available on my sk17 but afraid to go for it
neep help
regards
How can you have OTA files if SEUS is not working?
restore the DRM
Can I restore the DRM keys by relocking bootloader via flashtool?
if I can't do it that way, shall I still hope that it is possible to do somehow?

Nope, DRM cannot be restored at all, if it's gone, then it's gone.

Update error

When I'm repairing my Xperia Neo using SEUS, it says that "The phone contains modified software that cannot be updated". What should I do about it?
Bootloader unlocked?
Yep! Bootloader unlocked will cause my phone to have a fail update?

How did you unlock the bootloader? There is a way that you loose the official updates and another that you don't
I followed the instructions on SE site. :|
That way you loose the official update, even ota :s I'm still on stock because I want to learn more before I touch the bl, because of warranty too. I don't know if there's a way to get the updates back, I'm new to Sony Ericsson stuff, have my neo for a week now
The thing I concerned is that if I can still update my Neo when the official Ice Cream Sandwich for Xperia released.
That I don't know, try to ask that here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134335 but I don't think that will be possible, because you gave them your imei. Read that thread and ask there about that, I'm really new to this stuff, I had a Samsung Spica before.
I see! Thanks a lot buddy. Maybe this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258723 will help me soon when the official Ice Cream Sandwich released. They posted here the original firmware of SE Xperia phones.

if you would like to update your phone with the latest or previous software with BL unlocked, you can use wotan server, its pretty easy and straight forward or you can use flashtool if you have the proper FTF files for your phone.
If you would like to relock your BL, then you can do so, since you used the SE procedure, here's how to relock your bootloader:

I suggest to use the SE unlock procedure as the other procedure (not sure what its called) aside from your cannot relock the bootloader, unlocking process is hard and complicated.
But DRM (where Track ID is using) will be totally gone once you unlocked the bootloader and you cannot get it back even if you relock BL. (just a heads up though)

With patched bl you can still use official update service.

Xperia neo is an awesome phone
Concerning about the warranty, is it compatible with unlocking/re-locking the bl? I read a lot of threads but never read nothing that gives me a clear answer...

By that method bootloader is not unlocked, but instead it's patched, so that it accept unsigned images. As far as I know, you can't "unpatch" it

Well, for start, the official online method warns you that you are loosing warranty by doing that. Did you really think they won't cover themself?
Anw, if you do the online unlock, you can lock it back, but it won't bring drm stuff like track id back, it's gone forever from your phone(but I see you already know that ).
Now in real life situation. I really doubt they will check if you still have drm stuff on your phone or if your bl is patched. They will most likely check if bl is locked or unlocked

[CLOSED][Q] How to Relock Bootloader (Xperia Mini Pro)

How do I relock my Xperia Mini Pro? I unlocked it through the official way on the Sony Website and wanting to relock it now. I reflashed my phone to stock ROM with stock KERNEL and want to lock the bootloader. I downloaded Flashtool and now I don't know what to do. Should I use Flashtool or S1tool? Please help, thanks
Plus, Flashtool is not recognizing any drivers I have installed, I installed my phone's driver using Gordan Gate's which I got from WontanServer. Will I have to install the drivers manually?
If you used official method, you will need this file, attached to my post, inside the .rar file, and Flashtool. Just place the .ftf file in Flashtool/firmwares folder, then open Flashtool, flashmode and pick the relock_bootloader.ftf file. Make sure your phone is in Flashmode also.
About drivers...I cannot remember, which drivers did I install...
Thanks, a lot, I have finally relocked the bootloader. But just to make sure, how can I check If my bootloader is locked or unlocked? Thanks

Dial *#*#7378423#*#* service info>cofiguration.If it says bootloader unlocked allowed : yes then it's locked, if bootloader unlocked : yes then it's unlocked.
One qeustion by my side: After relocking the bootloader, is it posiible when you send it to the servis to be detected that the bootloader has been unlocked (or maybe that the device has been rooted) previously? I have relocked the bootloader and done repair with Pc companion so everything is like before well.....except that before i did a root with flashtool and didn't knew that the stock firmware isn't rootable like that and i lost 3G!!!!!!...now i must set to 2g in order to get signal coz i get with 3g weak signal and when i make a call it drops off. That's why i want to send it to the service

No i didn't try to relock it and i'm sorry for the misunderstanding..
What i was trying to say is that if i reflash my phone to stock ROM with stock KERNEL and take it to service how will they know that it's unlocked?
If they try the known dial *#*#7378423#*#* method my devise says : bootloader unlocked allowed : yes

I knew that your post had nothing to do with relocking patrida If you unlocked your phone with sony's official method you loose your DRM even if you relock it.Now, about the service, i highly doubt they gonna search if you unlocked it but i can't swear about that.There is also another method unlocking your phone without loosing DRM but didn't tried it and i don't know if they can detect it or not

Now i get it.. you loose your DRM the exact time you ask them to provide you unlock code!
So,no matter what you do afterwards they allready know which device is unlocked and which is not.. sosta thessalonikie mou??
My phone is unlocked with the "other" method and let's hope that i'll never have to take it to them and wonder if they detect it or not!!!
My phone now is locked and to check if your bootloader is locked or not, download S1tool. Open S1tool and click "Identify" and then follow the onscreen instructions. When your phone's information comes up it will say "R(some numbers and letters)". If you have a capital R means your bootloader is locked, if you have a small r means your bootloader is unlocked.

You lose DRM, if you unlock via fastboot using official method. When DRM is gone, it is completely gone, currently there is no way of getting it back.

Can you guys please tell me what this "other" method is? The one by which you can unlock a Xperia Mini without loosing DRM.

It doesn't matter you officially unlocked your bootloader or not. You can relock it by flashing that .FTF file by flashtool containing loader file and regain access to sony services, only trackid isn't working after relocking the bootloader. you can also fix that by installing walkman mod with DRM files provided by ThilinaC..

i don't know will you get back your warranty or not if you have shown your phone at service center in UNLOCKED bootloader state, may be sony registers your IMEI for out of warranty but if you havn't shown your phone to service center in unlocked state then of course you will get back your phone's warranty. I tried this on my LWW and hence saying this with personal experience.

As far as I know, you won't get back your warranty.
1) they ask for your IMEI number while you are unlocking bootloader only, and I suppose this is for tracking purpose
2) when I was unlocking my devices bootloader, I had read in the faq section of the guide that it's not possible to get back warranty because even if you lock the bootloader again, bootloader status will be shown as re-locked (not "locked" as it originally was) so the Sony people will know you've messed around with your phone

1. They ask your IMEI not for tracking, its for generating unique unlock code of your device.
2. Where did you see your bootloader status as RE-LOCKED, as far as i know after relocking, flashtool says "Bootloader status: Rootable" not relocked and if you see in phone's service menu(*#*#7378423#*#*), it shows "Bootloader unlock allowed : Yes"
and i had given my phone on service center for some hardware issue after relocking BL and was solved.

[Q] downgrade back to kitkat 4.4.4

You have to wait til 5.0.2 is rootable. Check Sony site maybe you can unlock the bootloader on lollipop.

I'm not sure if you can downgrade that way. I would try? Maybe not? If anything goes wrong you could always just flash stock again.
If you root and unlock bootloader you can move between android. I'm on 5.0.2 I can go back to kitkat anytime I want.
Has anyone downgraded from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4 yet? without having to root or unlock their bootloader. The reason I don't want to unlock my bootloader is because I accidentally erased my ta backup. That's why Im trying to get back to 4.4.4 so I can root and backup my ta again to unlock my bootloader. I just want to know if it is safe to downgrade my 6833 zu without root or unlocked bootloader
Thanks
Lollipop uses a different firmware so probably not. I didn't black up my TA .. I just went about unlocking it.
Try to flash a 4.4.4 ftf?
Yes but I want to back up my ta first before I unlock my bootloader because if I don't I'll lose the xreality keys and warranty. so it has different firmware so 5.0.2 won't be downgradable to 4.4.4? so you suggest I wait for a 5.0.2 root.
Sorry yes I wanted to to flash a stock 4.4.4 ftf with Sony flashtool
I figured I would give an update I was able to downgrade from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4 ftf with a locked bootloader without any problems

So someone who gets an Ota for lollipop can turn around and root their phone? The only reason you're rooted is because you downloaded a pre rooted rom.
So again lollipop is un rootable
So has anybody followed this guide?
Was it effective? I am reluctant to unlock my bootloader but on how my xzu sounds on my earphones, I am very eager to install V4A.

You're in the wrong device section. This is the Z Ultra forum. Anyhow, I see that you have the ZL, so I'll make this short. Tell me your region, and I'll make you a 4.4.4 FTF.
EDIT: I'm assuming the C6506 is the American version of the ZL, so the only 4.4.4 file that's available is the one for Puerto Rico. I'm building it now, so I'll put a link to it here when it's done.
